16.36

Shortly afterward, Baoda entered a hell called the Hell of Swallowing Burning Pellets with Upturned Mouths. Why is it called the Hell of Swallowing Burning Pellets with Upturned Mouths? That hell is eighty yojanas in length and breadth. In that hell, iron walls and nets surround it, and blazing flames rise up together to burn the sinners. At the four corners of that city, violent winds come and blow upon these iron walls, which stir, disperse, and transform into iron pellets that rain down in streams. The pellets on eight sides have cutting edges as sharp as weapon points, and flames burst forth from them together. In the open sky, they clash and crash against one another, sounding also like thunder.
